Kevin Spacey's Favorite Late-Night Restaurants

Two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey is quietly busier than James Franco; running London's Old Vic Theater, executive producing smart blockbusters like 'The Social Network,' and soon to star in 'House of Cards,' the first TV series from Netflix, directed by longtime collaborator David Fincher and slated for airing on the online rental site later this year. He's also in an online movie, 'The Ventriloquist,' which won the recent inaugural Jameson First Shot short film competition. But even the busiest man has to eat, so we asked him where to grab a bite after an evening at the theater, which translates into best late-night restaurants for anyone who's hungry and up late. Fresh off a world tour of Shakespeare's 'Richard III,' Spacey's answers veered international. Launch Gallery >>

Soho House West Hollywood

Soho House's original incarnation in London was an irreverent response to gentleman's clubs, known for their twin demons of good breeding and bad food. Los Angeles, a city without a dress code, is the ideal place for this nouvelle,co-ed gentleman's club. Serving French-California cuisine by chef Matthew Armistead until 1 a.m., it's known for its dangerously braised veal chops. Perched on the top two floors of a 14-story building on Sunset Boulevard, at the base of the hills of West Hollywood, this outpost of the private members club is defined by its 180-degree views of Los Angeles. It almost gives the illusion of being above the smog. A great escape, and, according to Spacey, "one of the best Soho Houses going."
